[sar]

What's happening to this then sar?

its undergoing performance testing lol

[sar]

I reckon there's a problem with the JHM tune

there is 0 problem with the jhm tune.

Just get Mihnea to map it, what would 'mericans know about European fuel.

the best man to map this is already on it.

No MRC don't do the testing on the strip, so that's no good

but you do get a lovely piece of paper with a couple of lines on!

[sar]

so picking up where we left off.....

with the install pretty much complete it was time to put it all back together!

before i could bolt the front panel/rad pack back on i had to trim the back side of the front panel near to where the belt runs.

i thought i might get away with leaving the mount for the engine under tray on but it was to close so had to come off.

front panel on, loads of clearance

another job that was still to do was separating my old oil cooler lines from the cooler. i ordered the jhm oil cooler lines as my car is still on the original lines, and they look well crusty.
my oil cooler pipes were corroded onto the cooler and wouldn't undo, if i had tried to force them they would have tore the threads off the cooler.
so out with the grinder to slowly cut through the fittings and pick them apart.

old fittings off (eventually), a bit of corrosion on the threads but not to bad the jhm lines still tighten up nice.

jhm oil cooler lines attached at the block

front panel on ready for water pipes, oil cooler lines, power steering rad and ac lines to reconnected.

before i attached the lines to the cooler i applied a good coat of duralac anti corrosive jointing compound, this and the fact that the jhm fittings are anodized should help with any future corrosion.
once the lines were bolted up i wrapped them in silicone tape to keep water out.

all wrapped up

next job bumper crash bar back on and reconnect the coolant circuit from the deleted aux rad back to the main rad.

headlights back in, power steering rad on

the long modified ac line tucked up and fastened to the back of the bumper crash bar

a few cable ties to hold the pipes/lines, clearance from the pulley and belt looks good

just before we put the bumper back on we swapped the 'shipping' plug for the 'breather' plug in the supercharger and checked the oil level

[sar]

with the bumper and bonnet back on it was time for fluids!

last job modify the oem intake pipe

all done! time for flashing!

Love this thread, cant wait to see how she goes!

I wonder if people prefer the SC on top for full view?

[docurley]

Stealth all the way.

I think the standard engine looks much better than one with one of those ugly chargers dumped on top; they're hardly beautiful designed!

In fact the biggest downside for me with supercharged cars was thay they are the engine bay a lot worse looking. So for me, this is a much nicer option.

I have to admit, the more I look at that engine bay the more i like where it went!

It is a beautiful stock engine
